Reports coming out of the southern Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago state that an elderly Swedish couple have been brutally murdered at their holiday home on the island of Tobago. Local police believe it was a burglary gone wrong, and have already apprehended two suspects tied to the killings.
The Expressen and the Aftonbladet newspapers first reported on the tragedy. The 62 year-old woman, Anna Sundsvall, was stabbed to death in her home but her 73 year-old husband, Ake Alsoon, managed to survive, only to die soon after in hospital from his injures.
A pair of rubber boots found at the crime scene and an eyewitness helped police track down and arrest a 28 year-old man. Although he has pleaded innocent, Crown Point police officer Fitzroy Frederick told the news agency TT that, “Forensics are working with the issue as we speak and we have made some progress in the case.”
The couple bought their home in the scenic coastal area of Bon Accord four years ago. A safe found at the house that was broken open suggests a burglary. The alarm was raised when a nearby security guard on patrol heard screams.
I agree with the above comment.
We are a Nordic news website: we cover news from the whole Nordic region.
Though we are covering Icelandic banking a lot at the moment, please ensure comments are posted to appropriate articles.
Many thanks

I have just come across this while searching the “Tobago Murders”
What on earth has Icelandic Banking and Sellafield got to do with a poor couple murdered in Tobago?
I would have thought having been to Tobago 3 times for peaceful holidays someone might like to say how sad for this couple and for the Island that violence has arrived in paradise
Rick: Would you be offended if I said “I hope Sellafield goes off with a bang and you would all glow in the dark?”
It is simply rude and barbaric to wish these things on other people, and remeber very few Icelanders indeed had Elton John brought in by helicopter to celebrate their birthdays.
iceland will never set up saving accounts uk
and i hope a volcano gos off with a bang.
the headline of this articel is “Swedish couple murdered in Tobago” And I don’t know what theese poor souls have got to do with Icelandic banking.
GreatDane: We are the people must never blame eachother, I don’t see the difference between myself as a British citizen than an Icelandic or any Nordic person. Let us leave the blame game please. What our governments must do to ensure ordinary people affected by this financial mess are protected, BUT QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY

Sam: I am not sure theese poor people had anything to do with Icelandic banking?
read what you are saying all of you, but the fact that we are all in this mess together. British families need to live as Icelandic people do, let me talk about my situation as a British citizen, which I am sure an Icelandic citizen has a similar situation to mine. I am a self-employed hard working tax payer person in UK with a family of four children. I have my money invested in Icesave and I draw from it as I need which is my whole income. At present climate there is no work going and I do need to access my money which obviously I can not, still waiting for this compensation scheme to start , when!!!!. can anybody tell me how can I feed my family and support them, this is my income and have no work at present. We are here in UK (people like me)are suffering, not only you Icelanders. The Icelandic government has guaranteed and facilitated the continuation of their people’s banking matters, without doing the same for UK people, like myself, who have trusted their banks. Where is the justice here and how I can meet day-to-day needs of family without accessing my money quickly. For further information, I have no close family in UK who have money to lend me or help my family out. As I said we are all in it together and UK citizens and their families must be taken care of by Iceland as they do to their own, after all we have trusted them with our money.
Many thanks
